Christmas

This year we were so excited to get out our Christmas tree.  It sounds so bad because this season is more about Christ than a Christmas tree but... you see... our little boy is FASCINATED with lights.  He walks over to lights switches and points and says "ah" (translated: on)... when they go on, he says "ooh, wat dat?" pointing to every light.  It is soooo cute.  So when we lit the Christmas tree this year, he loved it.  Every morning we turn it on and watch his face fill with amazement.

He walks up to the tree (see first picture) with his belly sticking out, leaning back.  Usually his hands are on his belly.  He says oooooooohhhh.  Proceeds to walk backwards staring at the tree and then repeats the process.  I almost died laughing. 

 We are working on using one finger to touch the tree.

 (I wish my shutter speed was faster...) He was flapping his hands... something he does when he is excited.

 The next morning I invited the grandmas over to open up Jed's new manger (thanks Oma).  And talk about all of the wooden characters.  What a special tradition!
